Didn't mean to sound like a xenophobe there. I respect the BAFTA and things like that, but never quite understood the point of the Golden Globes. Why are the foreign press giving awards anyway? It's not like we have the national press giving an award show.

I thought Mystic River was entirely heavy handed and trite. The opening scenes were like something out of an afterschool special. And all these great actors doing sub-amateur impersinations of these characters? Only Kevin Bacon deserved any credit for that one, Robbins and Penn were awful. I actually resented the critics for convincing me to see it. Then Eastwood threw a little hissy fit about how the Lord of the Rings movies were just expensive video games, and Robbins attacked the films for being shot in NEw Zealand, I just about s**t myself.

All of the Golden Globe categories need to renamed and rethought. They are just terrible. However, I find it hard to really care about the Golden Globes. Who really cares what the foreign press thinks?

Children of Men and The Fountain were the best theatrical releases I saw this year (I'll be seeing Pan's Labyrinth this Friday). I don't expect any major nominations for either. Children of Men may get a editing nomination, and Clint Mansell's score may get The Fountain a nomination, but I don't expect much else. The fact that TWO American made film's were nominated for best foreign language film at the GG's is utterly asinine. That category really should be for foreign film, not simply language.

I'm also sick of Eastwood winning Oscars. After Mystic River I don't trust his behind the camera skills anymore, and frankly haven't seen any of his post Mystic River releases. I saw plenty of the films he made between Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, and they were all pretty bad (Space Cowboys was OK).

No, they'll give it to the guy who directed "Babel", Alejandro González Iñárritu. "Crash" but with violence instead of racism... This will probably win, despite "Crash" winning last year (if it is nominated).

Pan's Labrynith is a lock for Best Foreign Film, I saw it a couple days ago and it's the best movie I've seen this year. I think for Best Picture, it's gonna be either Dreamgirls or The Departed, and Best Director will be either Scorsese or Eastwood(for Letters from Iwo Jima, which was fantastic).

I hope "The Departed" & "Little Miss Sunshine" get nominations for director and picture! I saw "Dreamgirls" it was good however "The Departed" was great. "Flags of our Fatheres" is great and so is "Letters from IWO JIMA"

Helen Mirren is a lock for Best Actress, I saw The Queen last night and I agree with all the buzz.

I like the idea of Best Child Star but I'd rather something like Best New Talent sort of thing for a great debut performance. I guess if the performance is THAT great it should be great enough to win a normal Oscar though.

I want one thing out of the whole Oscars. Soon I want to see a "Best Child Star" award. There are tons of child stars (Breslin anyone?) that deserve to be nominated that I think are gonna be cheated out of the Oscars.

Now that one of you have spoken about your dissapointment in past winners when your fave films did not get any oscars, now you can discuss your your predictions on who might be nominated and/ or win the Oscars in 2007?
